Ezio Rossiformer Torino footballer and coach, speaks to Tuttosport of the protest in Cairo and how the Granata club could change to rekindle the enthusiasm of the fans: “Reviving the Toro of the 80s would be impossible in today’s football, we need to be realistic. If a fund or an international giant comes, the first the focus will be on the results, then on the structures and on the youth sector. For example, how many years have we been talking about Robaldo?
And then it would be nice to win some derbies, bringing some competent Granata men back into the club, given that the various Benedettis, Comi, Longo, Ferri, Asta, Menghini and Mezzano are no longer there. New ownership certainly doesn’t have to make the managers wrong. Milan went well with Maldini, Inter continues their tradition with Zanetti and also with Riccardo Ferri, why are Toro missing these figures?”.
Returning to the pitch, how important Saturday’s away match at Genoa will be for Toro’s season?
“I think Vanoli knows he is in question: this is football. But I think he is an excellent person, who I believe has little responsibility for the Toro moment: he seems to me to be the only one capable of overcoming this crisis. The truth is that the bets made on the transfer market in the summer have so far not been won.”
